There is something extremely sad in the
following remark of ex-senator Allen G..
Thurman, of Ohio: II will never run for a
political Office again. am only a poor old
ghost wandering along the banks of the
Styx and waiting for old Charon to come
over in his boat for me. My day has gone. :"
And yet this was said by man who could
have received the unanimous nomination of
the Democratic Convention for Governor of
Ohio only the day before the worde were
uttered, and it was believed by many,pf his
friends that he could have been elected
without even the trouble of making caD-
vass. But the sold Roman" is perhaps
right His day has gone, but what a day
he has had! What power he has been in
the councils of the nation, and what noble
work he has done! He is indeed "grand
old man. Whig.

The Fall Business.

The outlook for the fall business is quite
encouraging, and the indications are that
the country is on the eve of greater gen.
for some years. Various manufacturing es-
adjustments are preparing for an active
season. In the cotton region the corn crop
is made, and the cotton crop, perhaps the
largest ever planted, is doing well. The
wheat and oats crops have been harvested
without any serious disasters. The tobac-
co crop is smaller than the average, but for
this reason the quality Of the weed when
ready for market, is likely to be better, so
that as much money as usual will be real
lied from the crop. Moreover, the grow
ing crop of tobacco is being cultivated at
the minimum outlay, smaller quantities of
fertilizers being used, and less labor en-
ployed than in past years, so that the net
result to the planter will be more satisfac-
tory. Since the advance in prices, the to-
bacco growers, who had reached low es-
tate in feelings and in purse, are in better
heart. The condition of the agricultural
classes will be somewhat improved by the
present years operations, but not yet
awhile will the tillers of the soil come in
for that share in the general prosperity of
the country to which they should be en-
titled. They have fallen behind from Yari-
Gus causes, and are now taking new lessons
in the changed economic condition of
things
Reports say that the large manufactures
of the North, and the iron and lumber in
terests are preparing for big rush Of fall
business which is already in sight. The
railroad companies have placed large orders
in rails, and cars, and locomotives. The
output of steel rails will be very large.
The lumber trade, especially in building
lumber, is gaining strength. Railroad
traffic is heavy. Trade in boots and shoes
is very active. The makers of agricultural
implements have had a good season
Money is abundant in the banks, and now
that good securities of all kinds are selling
high, thus yielding small interest to the
present buyer, there is strong disposition
to invest in all sorts Of promising enter
prises. There is a better demand for la
Dor; the average wages for the workingmen
have been slightly advanced, and strikes
are less frequent than they were last year.
Above all, there is confidence that the ma
terial progress and development throughout
the country, rest upon a solid basis, and as
confidence is at the bottom Of all business
ventures, this fact will increase the activity
in industries of all kinds. The business
outlook is in every respect more encourage
ing than it has been.-Richnond Who.

Nervous Dyspepsia is a com

the digestive organs and fthe

that the basis of this terrible

chiefly in the disordered and

and nutrition; they reasoned
thus: "If we can induce the

OUR FIRST FAIR.
To BE Held at Miller,
Dakota.
October 4th, 9th And 9th
1887.
4 Few Noics That May Interest
You.

All members Of the cornty board of di-
rectols were present lest Sa,u day at he
meeting. They selected 40 acres of
giound on the Munger farm south oftown
and placed tie dates for holding the fair
Tuesday Az ednesdas and Thursday, Oct.
4th, 5.h and 6th.
Hand county people could select no
better time to ask their friends and rela-
tixas in the states to visit Daketa than
during the FAIR, to be held at Miller,
October 4th, 5th and 9th. Every farmer
assisting in the exhibits and success OF
the FIRST FAIR is working directly for
his county's interest, and of course, his
own interests. Many strangers will be
present, and an exhibit, sLel as we know
the county can make, will locate hundreds
of new settlers within her borders.
Don't fail to prepare something for the
FAIR,
The mana gemest OF our COUNTY FAIR
are doing everything TO make this ono OF
the best and most successful county fairs
in the territory.
Don't wait until yen see what is going
to be exhibited at the FAIR this year.
thinking that next year you will bring
something. That policy has ruined many
fairs. Make up your mind to have some
thing to show at the FIRST FAIR.
Very few residents OF the county know
what kinds If stock We have except from
assessors returns. which information is
meagre. We hope TO see all kinds shown
at the FAIR.
The stockholders OF our COUNTY FAIR
should remember it is very necessary to
have some money in the treasurery 10
commence building with, and those whe
can. should pay immediately.
Who knows whether there are any fast
horses in the county or not? The only
ones known hsfe are J. II. Baldwin's
running horse. the Gass horse. and Henry
Nilleis pony II. Mercer is also said
to have some running stock. E. d. Milams
]. II. Baldwin's and ID. w. Knappen's
Major b. II. Howell's and B. +. Payne's
trotting horses are the only ones We have
heard of. And John Morrow has the only
PAGER we are acquainted with. The as
sociation will Offer premiums for all kinds
/ OF racing.
The FAIR premium list will be published
next week. The secretary was unable tt
prepare 1t for this weeks papers.
The cabbage, potatos, beets and othei
vegetables which will be exhibited at th'
FAIR will be good for the sore eyes o
visitors froG. the states.
The base ball boys will arrange for ont
or more games during the FAIR.
One OF the features of the fair will
probably be a Soldiers Day." at whicl
time all the old vets of the county will b
invited to attend, and hold campfire o
| night.
